Endorsement Watch

Approaching the August 28 primary election means plenty of endorsements are rolling out from various groups.

Here’s a round-up of this week’s endorsements:

Ron DeSantis – Republican candidate for Governor – A political action committee backed by Charles Koch – Freedom Partners Action Fund – has endorsed Ron DeSantis in the Republican Primary for governor. This is a significant endorsement for DeSantis because the group intends to back the Congressman with digital ads and targeting mail. “Floridians want in their next governor a strong leader willing to take on issues that most seriously impact their lives, and Ron DeSantis’s record in Congress proves he will be that governor. His priority is the people he serves, working to grow our economy by supporting regulatory reforms and rejecting corporate welfare, improving the quality and affordability of health care, and growing opportunity in education. Ron DeSantis puts Florida’s communities and families first, and is the best choice for the state’s next governor,” said Freedom Partners Action Fund spokesman Nathan Nascimento.
